Lesson Plan on iPads in the Classroom

Edit 0 6 …
I will be developing a lesson on the iPad for the class. Please let me know if there is a particular App or use you would like me to demonstrate. I can't promise I will do so, but I will cover a number of Apps in depth and a few apps very briefly, and we will spend some time passing around the iPad and allowing everyone to check out how it works.
